Buy with your heart, not your head. You can look at all the aspects that make a purchase practical, but that kind of thinking makes it an investment rather than a home.

I was a hot-dog stand lady, I was an orphan housemother, I was a waitress 3 or 4 times. All of those jobs did not have good bosses. They basically told you what to do, when to do and when to hop. And I just didn't like that very much.

I've seen innovation come from something as simple as a resourceful multibillionaire who wanted to make even more money.

I think of my business and investments as extension of my family.

In business, you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand, rather than waiting to have demand.

Your business is a part of yourself. Should it be? Who knows, but it sure feels that way. You can never really leave it.

Take some time to sit down and figure out how your big rival is promoting their brand and plan something smarter and more creative for yours!
